Sounds like you have the common problem of it getting stuck. If it hasn't moved on after 15 mins. Do a battery pull, boot into recovery and clear all the caches (dalvik included).

And you really shouldn't be seeing the O2 boot screen...

I can't get into recovery now :/

Holding volume down and power just turns it on.

However it has now moved onto the HTC quietly brilliant screen (white background/green logo) with a MoDaCo logo below it blink.giflaugh.gif

Anyway it's now staying on that screen and I do have to go to the dentist, so I'll leave it there till I'm back.

It's working fine now :) Now the long and boring process of backing up stuff on my iPhone and transferring to Desire!

Anything else I should do right now before installing applications and transferring contacts/info over?

FFS loaded ROM Manager to parition the SD card, rebooted, now it's sticking on the O2 Welcome screen again laugh.gif

edit: Also sticks on O2 welcome when I try to get into the recovery menu :/ Can't do anything right now.

It sounds like you didn't fully root it and properly flash the ROM. You should not be seeing any O2 branding at all. Especially after you flashed a custom ROM...

I would re-root it, using the SLCD img for Unrevoked provided in those XDA links earlier.

Can't re-root it since I can't boot into the OS.

I can now get into the recovery menu again so I'm going to see if I have an adapter to plug the micro sd card into the PC and copy over my rom again and install it.

Did you try just reflashing the ROM? Might just have been a bad first flash?

I formatted the SD card in recovery pinch.gif

Managed to re-root it, doesn't need to boot into OS, unrevoked picked it up on the Welcome screen.

When it boots now though it just displays O2 welcome screen, then text saying "ANDROID", which flashes from left to right.

I tried to mount the SD card in the recovery menu through the PC to move my rom onto it, but the PC wouldn't pick it up. I don't have any mini-sd card adapters in the house.

Before you re-flash make sure to clear all caches as well. There are like 3 different ones. Do them all.

Also, don't know if you are trying to apply mods to your custom ROM. But you need to reboot at least twice (to be on the safe side) before you flash any mods.

Finally got back into the OS. Going to rebake my rom and install it again.

Do you think it's just been a bad flash or is there any other way to format the SD card instead of using RomManager? RomManager did tell me to install some version of clockwork recovery before partitioning the SD card which I did, maybe that conflicted?

The O2 welcome screen is still present after rooting, should it disappear when applying a custom rom?

Just rooting wouldnt have gotten rid of the o2 splash, however a custom ROM should have done so.

Have you tried a precooked one like OpenDesire (Vanilla) or Pays (Sense) just to test it out, before putting your own creation on it?

Might have been a bad flash, no way of knowing for sure without generating a log and I don't have nearly enough expertise in that area to even begin to guess at the problem.

Yeah, ROM Manager would download the update for ClockworkModRecovery. But you would have needed to boot into recovery to install it. It downloads the update to update.zip. And then you would have to install it from the "install zip from sd card option".

Yeah it should in mine opinion. The custom ROM should replace the bootscreen with its own custom boot image.

Hey guys,

My phone just broken and orange want to charge me ?100 to upgrade it, despite on their website I can get the Desire for free on my tariff.

That and a long line of other things have seriously put me off staying with orange (including their mutilation of the Android OS)

So does anyone know the best place to get a Desire (UK) and if mobile providers buy you out of your contracts any more?

Try to import in Gmail under contacts?

Doesn't support .contact files. I'll just have to manually re-enter.

By the way how do you do the "<" and ">" brackets on the Desire keyboard. I'm either blind or stupid :p

Press "12#" bottom right then press "1/2" bottom left ;)

Thanks, I just installed a nice keyboard mod as well :)

Yeah, just connect your phone to your PC using USB and copy/paste your data over to the new card.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.
